PARIS, May 2.-Among the audience
at the Opera Comique Wednesday night,
we're Gen. Boulanger. Gen. Saussier,
Gen. Thsubins, M. Goblet, M. Berthelot
and Marquis Fenonayis, and the perfect
OF police; all escaped unhurt. An artist
named Philippe performed prodigious
deeds Of valOr In saving life. He mount
ed ladder three times and saved three
danueses, after they had been aban-
d0ned by the firemen. In the Rue
Favart sudden gust of wind
cleared away the dense smoke, when
q woman and two men were seen stand
ing In an angle of the uppermOst cor
nice. The woman tried to jump, but the
men prevented her. When all were fin
ally rescued the woman was a rsving
maniac. A singer had a miraculous es-
cape from his dressing room In the angle
at the top of the building. He said the
wind kept the flames off that part of the
building, but q river Of molten lead
poured from the roof, the course OF
which he diverted with a board to pre-
vent Its weight carrying down the shaky
floor. Officials are endeavoring to esti-

Getting Scared at Halifax.

HALIFAX, N. s., May 2.-Extraordin-
arv precautions have been taken lately
by the military authorities which render
admission to the citadel by ordinary
citizens more difficult than ever, while
even those supposed to have business
there are under certain restrictions. No
person, whether q British subject or
not, can obtain entrance unless holding
pass from the brigade officer, stating
that there are reasons for his or her ad-
mittanoe. No one whatever ia to be al
lowed inside out Of mere curiosity. No
foreigner, Of whatever nationality, can
be admitted unless he has a special per-
NIT issued by the war office In London.
The reason Of the measures taken so
vigorously to exclude the public is said
to be because newspaper correspondents
have been granted so much freedom in
side in the past that they have been en-
abled to give minute descriptions OF the
works, guns, etc., and this the author
tiles do not appreciate,

Rather Disappointed

A letter from one Of the Belknap boys
says that the Belknsp and San Antonio
boys are encamped In section ID, in the
camp that Is laid around the Washing
ton monument 1t is evident that the
people are astonished at the San Anto-
Mo boys. They seem to have expected
to see another edition Of Buffalo Bits
wild west show, and are somewhat dis
appointed, although the boys did all
they could to help out the Illusion.
They laid around In sombrerOs and
spoke Of killing Indians and shooting
sorapes, as il they were ordinary occur
rences. The camp has been watched
closely and there Is no question that the
people are astonished to find such q fine
set OF well drilled boys from the Lone
Star state. IL the drill does nothing else,
IL will show that the citizens Of San An
ionic are the peer OF any other city in
the union, and In that point something
good is gained,

That st. Petersburg Fire.

LONDON, May IA dispatch from st.
Petersburg gives the particulars of the
destructive conflagration which oc-
CURED near there on the oath instant, by
which sixty houses we're destroyed.
Five incendiary placards were posted
throughout the town Sunday, threaten
ing that at IL o'clock that night the viii
lage would be In flames, and on Monday
similar notices appeared. When the fire
did break out, on Tuesday, q raging
wind carried the flames from one house
to another. The fire could not be con-
trolled until 90 villas were destroyed.
The loss amounts to several million
rubles. IncendIaries not arrested.

Texas on the Field

1t is decided that the Belknaps Rifles
drill today at IL O'Clock and the San An
tonic Rifles follow at 1890. The award
Of prizes will take place on Monday.
The competitive drill for the indi-
vidual prizes commenced yesterday.
There were sixty men In line, including
the competitors from the local militia
company. The chances are that Will
Herff and John kissing will make the
best race. The drill was cut short BY n
heavy shower. All Is reported to BE-
well. The Belknsps retain firm hold
Of the pools. and yesterday the San An.
tonic Rifles recovered little of the lost
prestige In that respect. 1t Is thought
that San Antonio boys, either the Bel
knaps or San Antonio Rifles, will as
suredly capture the second prize, OF
may be the first. The members of both
companies are In first-class condition,
and are saDguine of success.

Not So Wei in Galveston.

From a private letter from Galveston
to q gentleman In this city, the writer
says the city is very dull and times are
harder than ever. Saloon men are on
the ragged edge, the authorities having
compelled all Of them to pay up their
licenses, which heretofore has never
been done. Whisky selling, In a good
many instances, has been done by corner
groceries and small sTosser:es without
licenses. The Gold Room, on Market
street, fine saloon, has been close
under attachment.

Catarrh to CONSUMPTION.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to
and undoubtedly lesds on to consumption. 1t is
therefore singular that those afflicted with this
fearful disease should not make it the object of
their lives to rid themselves of it. Deceptive
remedies concocted by ignorant pretenders TO
medical knowledge have weakened the conf
denee Of the great majority of sufferers in all
advertised remedies. They become resigned to
a life of misery rather than torture themselves
with doubtful palliatives.
But this will never do Catarrh must be met
